Competitors... "Wolf Warrior 2" did not have any competitors that could compete with it during the same period, but there were none during this Spring Festival period either.

Competitive opponents such as Brother Long and Stephen Chow have all withdrawn, and have no intention of fighting to the death with Director Wei.

Leaving behind a big bad movie starring Baoqiang is no match for Director Wei.

The quality of Guoshi’s “Parasite” is good, but it is an art film after all.

There is a ceiling on box office revenue.

In this case, it can be said that "The World of Great Strife" has no rivals.

Of course, the reason why "Wolf Warrior 2" was a huge box office hit was not only because its competitors at the same time were too weak, but a more important reason was that the influence of the international situation at that time boosted the rise of patriotic sentiment in the country, and "Wolf Warrior 2" happened to ignite this patriotic sentiment and ultimately created a box office miracle.

This situation also perfectly applies to "The Age of Conquest." "Wolf Warrior 2" was just a coincidence of the sinister country next door stirring up trouble. "The Age of Conquest" is about the real American trouble.

Moreover, Director Wei filmed completely true events.

In terms of sense of substitution, emotional ignition point, and boosting patriotic sentiment, how can the sinister country compare with the beautiful country?

So why is the box office of "The Great Controversy" so low?

Director Wei couldn't think of a reason.

The box office performance of "The Age of Contenders" also confirms Director Wei's views.

The midnight show broke box office records.

The first-day box office record was broken. The first-day box office of "The Great Conquest" reached 4.01 million yuan.

When this data came out, it shocked everyone in the industry.

It unsurprisingly became the new first-day box office champion for a single Chinese-language film.

4.01 million.

Many movies have never reached this number in terms of total box office, but "The Great Conquest" achieved it on the first day.

This makes people in the industry question their lives.

Director Wei was very calm about this and thought it was quite normal.

After all, Director Wei knew the original timeline was set during the 2017 Spring Festival holiday, when "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" grossed 3.67 million yuan on its first day. Even with "The Age of Conquest" completely outperforming "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" in every way, from screening rates to the director's box office appeal, it only managed to earn less than 4000 million yuan more than the original "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back," which Director Wei considered a conservative estimate.

It didn't even meet Director Wei's expectations.

Director Wei actually expected the first-day box office of "The Great Contest" to be 4.5 million.

pity.

However, the first-day box office of "The Great Conquest" did not exceed that of "The Monkey King 3" in the original time and space by much, but the box office on the second day and the third day had a strong crushing effect.

Three days later, "The Great Conquest" became the first and only movie in 2017 to break the 1 billion box office.

Over 1 billion in three days.

The industry is numb.

Director Wei is constantly creating new box office miracles.

Moreover, there is no hope of surpassing it in the short term.

Director Wei was also satisfied with the trend of 1 billion in three days.

But Director Wei knows his own limitations.

The release date is also a very important reason why the box office figures are so good.

The box office potential of the Spring Festival period is indeed the greatest in the year, and Director Wei has once again proved this.

Of course, "The Age of Controversy" did not disappoint the schedule.

Moreover, when "The Great Contest" showed its potential to dominate the box office and it seemed that there was no suspense about breaking the new box office record for Chinese-language films, the official also gave assistance.

Although it was only mentioned briefly and only one picture was shown, the report on the popularity of "The Great Contest" was still summarized in the news about the hot box office during the Spring Festival.

But it’s still the face of the card.

In addition, the number of viewers of "The World of Great Controversy" has increased instead of decreased.

This still depends on the assists above.

And Director Wei's no-cost publicity and promotion.

Both are key points.

The assists above didn’t actually do anything. They just acquiesced to one thing: the crew of “The Great Contender” could use the South China Sea confrontation for publicity.

This tacit consent created extremely favorable conditions for the promotion of "The Age of Great Strife".

As long as the authorities do not allow this to be used for promotion, there is actually no reason for the audience to watch "The World of Contenders".

But the higher-ups have tacitly allowed it to be promoted.

Therefore, the crew of "The Great Contest" directly invested 100 million yuan.

They didn't promote Director Wei, the actors, or even the movie, but only promoted the South China Sea standoff.

A站, Bihu, Douban, and Tieba.

You can find news about the South China Sea standoff on all public platforms you can visit.

Even if you don't want to see it, you can't help but check out the App news push.

Thanks to Director Wei's relentless publicity, the South China Sea standoff eventually became known to everyone.

The direct result of this is that the audience's patriotic sentiment exploded.

Anti-American sentiment exploded.

Then, "The Age of Great Controversy" also became a hit.

This does have a chain reaction, and the logic is very sound.

After all, it is difficult for us to really fight a real fight with the United States now.

So supporting our country in confronting the United States with real weapons in the movie is better than doing nothing.

The reason "Wolf Warrior 2" was such a hit in the past was that China was causing trouble. However, "Wolf Warrior 2" didn't target China at all, yet it still achieved incredible box office success. "The Age of Conquest" targeted the United States.

This force will only be greater than that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

So, five days after the release of "The Age of Contenders", a box office figure appeared that made industry insiders question their lives again: the box office of "The Age of Contenders" actually fell.

After the box office exceeded 1 billion in three days, the box office growth rate of "The Great Contest" had slowed down on the fourth day, reaching only 250 million.

As a result, after Director Wei increased publicity and promotion, and the higher-ups tacitly allowed the crew of "The Great Struggle" to use the South China Sea confrontation for publicity, the box office of "The Great Struggle" grew by 50 million on the 5th day against the trend and returned to over 300 million.

After five days of release, the box office exceeded 15 million.

No one doubts anymore that "The Great Controversy" will break box office records.

Brother Long, Star Master Han Han all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had foresight.

Fortunately, I knew what I was doing and didn't confront Director Wei head-on.

With this beast and a movie like "The Great Controversy", there is no possibility of winning.

Their judgment was correct.

On the sixth day of the Spring Festival holiday, the box office of "The Great Conquest" still exceeded 300 million.

On the 7th day, the total box office of "The Great Conquest" has exceeded 20 billion.

Director Wei knew that at this stage, what really attracted audiences to the cinema was no longer the quality of the film or its own box office appeal.

The publicity and promotion that the crew had spent a lot of money on before took effect.

Among the audience, patriotic sentiment has been thoroughly aroused, and the impression of the American villain Big Boss has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This kind of marketing is even more powerful than owing Stephen Chow a cinema.

After all, Stephen Chow only influenced one generation.

What the United States can influence is one country's people.

Things like the South China Sea standoff also affect the fate of an entire country.

If there is an accidental firing of guns in the South China Sea and the two sides start fighting, God knows what will happen next.

The audience urgently needs to feel the strength of our rabbit army.

And no other movie can give them a more intuitive feeling than "The Great Controversy".

In addition, after the box office of "The Great Conquest" exceeded 20 billion, the smoke of the Spring Festival period gradually dissipated and the audience began to resume their working lives.

At this time, the support from above really began to take effect.

Previously, the higher-ups only tacitly allowed the crew of "The Great Contest" to use the South China Sea incident for publicity, but they themselves did not comment on it.

After all, what Director Wei did could be considered as personal behavior, or it could be understood as normal business behavior.

If the country also does these things, it would be a slap in the face of the United States.

We are all decent countries and don't want to go to war. If the Eagle Sauce really hurts its face, it may try to make up for it in other ways to save face.

So for this reason, the higher-ups did not personally promote the event.

However, Director Wei is making a movie for the navy this time.

And the theme is so positive.

In addition, Director Wei came from a noble family.

When "The Age of Conquest" was about to break the box office record and the Spring Festival period was over, the box office was bound to drop a lot, so the boss waved his hand and said: Brothers, go ahead and book the entire theater if you need to.

Hot Knowledge: Every year, major government agencies and organizations rent out some mainstream films and distribute them to their employees as benefits.

Why have patriotic films become such hits in the past and present?

In addition to the growing patriotic sentiment in the country, support from above, both spiritually and materially, is also very important.

Every country protects its own films, and among these films, patriotic films are naturally given priority, which is understandable. "The Great Controversy" also enjoys this treatment.

Moreover, the salary is extremely high.

Not only major government agencies and groups took charge of it.

Most importantly, the army also went.

And the army is extremely powerful.

Just give soldiers benefits, enrich their free time, and cultivate their patriotism, and then the box office of "The World of Contenders" will increase by hundreds of millions.

Plus the audience of "The Great Contest" itself.

Two weeks later.

That is, the day before the Lantern Festival. The total box office of "The Great Conquest" officially exceeded 3 billion, becoming the first Chinese-language film to exceed 3 billion.

As for when the record was broken?

Director Wei said, does that matter?

Isn’t it normal for the movies I make to break records?

What's all the fuss about?

When the box office of "The Great Contest" exceeded 30 billion, Director Wei took the initiative to announce two things.

No. 1: We have made a lot of money from "The Age of Conquest". After the box office profit of 30 billion, we will use it to set up a veteran relief fund to provide assistance to veterans.

In fact, this was something the crew and the Navy had already discussed. The Navy provided all-round support to the crew, and it also allowed the crew to use so many real-life shots, saving hundreds of millions in costs.

If you don't understand something, why would others cooperate with you?

Besides, in China, when you reach a certain level, money is just a number.

Anyone with a bit of vision knows how cost-effective it is to buy relationships with the military with money.

So the Navy gave concessions to the crew of "The World of Great Controversy".

The crew of "The Great Contest" gave concessions to veterans.

To put it bluntly, this is truly taking from the army and using it for the army.

A typical representative of positive energy.

No. 2: The next goal of "The World of Great Controversy" is not 40 billion, but 50 billion.
